A screenshot of two tweets. One is by julián gómez-delgado that reads, "New School University is shutting down programs, PhD admissions have been paused, and faculty are now receiving emails to resign. Of course, this isn't the first crisis, BUT the administration's response hasn't always been like today's revamped austerity "shock therapy.” 👇🏽" The second tweet is by Kirstin Munro that reads, "Professional services isn’t JUST your standard management consultants and outside attorneys to investigate employees, the most recent form 990 shows The New School also spent $2 million on party planning"

The New School, NY shuts down PhD programs and fires professors because of lack of funds while spending $2M on party planning.

This feature will save you a lot of time and labor while doing systematic reviews. Here's how deduplication works in Silvi: 1. Let's say you imported studies from multiple databases, Embase, Cochrane, and PubMed in the case of the example below. There might be several studies with duplicates that Silvi will deduplicate automatically. 2. To see the duplicates, click on the filter button and select "Studies with duplicates." Then click on the "Show" button and it will show you all the studies with duplicates. 3. For every deduplicated study, Silvi will show you the number of duplicates in the top-right corner of its abstract. Click on that button and it will show you the duplicates. If you don't agree with Silvi's decision, you can click on "This is not a duplicate" and it will treat the two studies separately. 4. You can also manually deduplicate studies if you w
